1001 books you must read before you die
So that is 971 to go for me …

Costco loot
I became familiar with Costco last night. We don’t have them in France (at least, not when we moved to Melbourne!), and one just opened around the corner from us in the Docklands.
Most people were buying Coca-Cola and white bread in industrious quantities (oh no!). We walked out with a 1kg bag of Mrs May’s, 1 kg of almonds and 1 kg of walnuts. You should have seen the look on most parents’ faces when their kids realised there was such a thing as a bucket of 1,000 Chupa Chups, and subsequently asked for it. Epic.
He made me a floor plan
We are moving! Not too far: 10 floors up. I know: it’s missing the whole changing neighbourhood aspect of moving, but we’re really happy.
To help me visualise and play around with possible furniture placement, Christian made me this floor plan, complete with small cut outs (to size) of all our furniture.
He’s wonderful.
Industria
With talk of my knee surgery last night I suddenly remembered I hadn’t posted photos from our little trip to Industria on Gertrude Street from a few weeks ago.
The bird
‘I can sum up the film in one word: ‘Caaaaaaa’.’
Christian telling me about ‘The Crow’, that I had never seen until yesterday.
One of my favourite films
Ed Wood, 1994 (dir. Tim Burton).
Possibly my favourite moments in it are:
- When Johnny Depp dressed like a woman and filming illegally on the street screams ‘Police, run!’ and tries to scamper off in high heels
- When him and Martin Landau are watching tv – Johnny ‘And nobody knows what is wrong with the buffalos’, Martin ‘Pull ze string!!’
Classic!

Pretty
I wish my knees were as pretty … I have a really long scar on my right one, and to be perfectly honest it feels disfigured to me :(
Isn’t this image lovely?
